As winter approaches, elevator performance depends heavily on one often-overlooked space: the machine room. While tenants may never see it, this critical area controls how reliably and safely an elevator operates—especially during freezing temperatures. In many buildings, the machine room experiences temperature fluctuations that put strain on motors, drives, controllers, and hydraulic systems. Even a […]
